PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) - A lawyer for a defendant in the 38 Studios suit says Michael Corso has told his attorney he intends to plead the Fifth Amendment in response to a subpoena for deposition testimony.

William Dolan told a judge Thursday Corso has indicated to his lawyer that he will not testify.

Corso had a consulting agreement with the failed video game company. He was subpoenaed in April. The document says the deposition is scheduled for May 22.

A message was left with Corso's lawyer.

The hearing was to continue later Thursday. A lawyer for Gordon Fox is expected to ask the judge to quash a subpoena issued to the former House speaker for a range of documents related to Curt Schilling's now-bankrupt company.
